Turbo front end and regular Carerra backend. Does look a bit strange and never seen that before.

It lists as an 85 Carrera Coupe which it is, although it has the front spoiler that goes up higher then a standard Carrera one. So whats makes this a Turbo Nose exactly?

I know that car. It's for sale about 10 miles from me. I looked at it once (briefly) and wasn't paying attention to see this. It has been for sale since August 2005 outside in all weather.

Turbo front fender without turbo rear fender. To me, very personal, it look like a big head guy.
What makes it a rare wishes car? I don't understand.

Here's another dandy. '81 Euro Sunroof Undelete coupe. Really a shame. Sounds like it was a totally non-optioned euro car.

NOT an M491 ... you can see the standard Ate 'M' caliper behind the rear wheel!

Salvage title says it all ...

M491 with a rear turbo flare delete is not an M491...?
but an SC with a optioned turbo front flare...?
this car is definately a ba$tard, please back away slowly.

In Washington, instead of "Salvage", it would say, "Total Loss".
